Role Summary:

The VP, Technology Risk Management – Control Officer is a First Line of Defense (FLOD) partner supporting MUFG Securities Americas (MUSA) business and technology teams. Reporting to the Head of Technology Risk, this role is for a forward‑thinking, results‑oriented professional who acts with a strong sense of urgency and actively re‑thinks how technology risk and the control environment are designed, operated, and scaled.

Rather than working within legacy, manually intensive models, this role is expected to modernize the technology control environment using AI, automation, and data‑driven insights. Success depends on strong business trust relationships, practical judgment, and measurable risk reduction.

Key Responsibilities:

• Serve as a trusted FLOD Technology Risk & Controls advisor to MUSA Business Partners.

• Own end‑to‑end issue management, driving timely remediation and accountable outcomes.

• Evangelize a re‑imagined, results‑driven approach to risk management across the Risk & Controls team.

• Design and deliver AI and automation solutions that materially improve efficiency and cycle time

• Translate technology risk into clear, business‑relevant insights that enable informed decisions.

• Develop risk metrics and dashboards using Power BI to drive visibility and action.

• Apply Microsoft Copilot to improve speed, quality, and consistency of risk deliverables.

• Use Power Automate to reduce manual work, accelerate workflows, and manage risk at scale.

• Act with urgency to identify risks early, remove blockers, and keep remediation on track.

Required Qualifications:

• 1–3 years of Technology Risk Management experience, preferably in financial services or regulated environments.

• Strong hands‑on experience with Microsoft Copilot, Power Automate, and Power BI.

• Demonstrated ability and curiosity to apply AI and automation to real operational problems—not theoretical use cases.

• Proven track record of being results‑oriented in fast‑paced, high‑visibility environments.

• Demonstrated ability to build trusted, partnership‑based relationships with business and technology stakeholders.

• Strong communication skills with the ability to produce clear, audit‑ready content.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Familiarity with the Three Lines of Defense model in a broker‑dealer or securities environment.

• Experience with GRC and/or risk systems of record (e.g., OpenPages or similar).

What Makes This Role Different:

• This role is explicitly designed for someone who re‑thinks the status quo.

• Success is measured by impact, adoption, and execution, not manual output.

• Direct influence on how business partners experience risk management.

• Opportunity to help shift MUSA from process‑heavy to intelligence‑driven risk management.

Other:

• As per MUFG’s work policy for all personnel, candidates must work onsite for 4 days and 1 day remotely out of New York, NY.

• The typical base pay range for this role is between $135K - $192K depending on job-related knowledge, skills, experience, and location. This role may also be eligible for certain discretionary performance-based bonus and/or incentive compensation. Additionally, our Total Rewards program provides colleagues with a competitive benefits package (in accordance with the eligibility requirements and respective terms of each) that includes comprehensive health and wellness benefits, retirement plans, educational assistance and training programs, income replacement for qualified employees with disabilities, paid maternity and parental bonding leave, and paid vacation, sick days, and holidays.
